Commissioner Nagy said the date on the minutes should be May 14th, not the 15th.

MOTION:  Commissioner Cook MOVED to approve the minutes with the date corrected to May 14, 2008.  Vice Chair Zwiener seconded the motion.  Motion carried 4:0. 

Chair Baughman introduced Valerie Pullara, HPC candidate.  Patrick Foley was not in attendance.

Vice Chair Zwiener & Commissioner Spoerl have been working with Scott Nelson at Steam Pump Ranch (SPR).  Vice Chair Zwiener presented a written report on work at SPR assessing what was left behind by the Liebers.  They met with Lt. Ed Schaefer and Amy Sloan of OVPD on 6/6/08 and discussed site security.
 
Mr. Nelson said the site security plan at one time entailed patrols and beefing up lighting of the site.    OVPD has decided not to have their newly established bike patrol operate from the site, as it is important to retain the historic character.  PD didn’t feel the site could be made secure enough for bike patrol.  With regular patrols and implementation of lighting it should be secure.  Bids on lighting received so far are $9800 and 2800.  One more bid is still to come in.

Mr. Nelson stated based on his assessment and the consultant’s, with a structural engineer, the recommendation for stabilization and cleanup, should be well within the budget. 

Vice Chair Zwiener didn’t think there was a lot of remaining material of historical value.  Anything that may be of value is being assessed and stored.  It is suggested the pump house be monitored by archaeologists.

Mr. Nelson said anything not historic but salvageable has been looked at by the Town’s procurement officer.  What can be recycled will be: books to library, donations to Goodwill, etc.  Tucson Metals will drop roll offs there and scrap metal will be loaded.  They pay $120 per ton.

Vice Chair Zwiener also commented about an area near Carlos’ house which has been identified as a seating area and should be considered for preserving.  The Lieber residence has a large safe in the north end of the building that will be removed.  An antique jukebox was found and was removed and stored.  Any wood encountered during reconstruction that has a historic appearance, should be saved and stored. 

A copy of an email from Pat Spoerl was distributed.  Mr. Eggerding, President of the Oro Valley Historical Society had suggested developing a joint study session with HPC. Chair Baughman will contact President Eggerding and try to have proposals at the next meeting to schedule a joint study session.

a.	Certified Local Government (CLG) Application

Mr. Nelson reported that CLG was approved by Town Council on 3/19.  It was sent to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and nothing has been heard back yet.  He will check to see if either of the grants need CLG status.

Vice Chair Zwiener thought since there has been a turn over of Commissioners, there be some reorganization of these items.
